The Gang Rape Of The
Downtown Residents Continues...
[No! Gang rape is not too harsh a term!]

A Milestone Event,
The Escalation Of Arrogance:
Private Property Confiscation!
The Saint Augustine Gentlemen of the Road Stopover Tour — The Mumford
Concert — represents a milestone event in the on going incremental gang
rape of the down town residents by the rogue gangster government of
the City of Saint Augustine. Not content with their ongoing privatization
embarrassingly transparent theft of the PUBLIC COMMONS (see below), the Xtrevilist
pigs in city hall now turn to de facto confiscation of PRIVATE PROPERTY
in order to attempt to satiate their insatiable greed.

Full Definition of CONFISCATE
1: to seize as forfeited to the public treasury
2: to seize by or as if by authority

Yes folks — PRIVATE PROPERTY — residents access, and their guests access, will be restricted by permit for the Mumford concert! Two permits only per household and if you need extra permits,YOU — yes YOU — have to call someone on the county payroll in the 'culture department' at your expense (and
your tax dollar expense on the other end of the line of course) for additional PERMITS, and
then drive to the amphitheater on the island, during a very small window of time, to get
those permits. And if your guests should arrive unannounced after noon on the days your property is being CONFISCATED FOR PRIVATE GAIN — too bad!

Your
right to unrestricted access of your private property has been seized by the gangsters downtown in city hall.
Your right to the "quiet enjoyment" of your property has also been severely compromised.
This event is both a public and a private nuisance that affects the
quiet enjoyment of the downtown residents. But it has deeper more far
reaching negative societal effects that many citizens are not even
aware of...
An unadulterated burst of baloneyspeak...THIS EVENT IS NOT — NOT
— for a public emergency mind you. THIS EVENT IS NOT — NOT
— to make essential
repairs to a roadway or a sewer system where it would be understandable to close very limited sections of roadways, with well thought out detours, in the interest of the public
welfare. THIS EVENT IS NOT — NOT
— in the interest of the public welfare!

THERE IS NO compelling reason for seizing control of and closing off huge swaths of the downtown area other than to simply
satisfy the greed glands of the local merchants, the state alcohol and
tobacco cartel drug dealers, the gangster hijacked city government, and
a more sinister driving force behind it all that seeks to eliminate the
American middle class.

In
a pure unadulterated burst of baloneyspeak, Chief of the Saint Augustine Police Department
Tourist Factory Mall Security & Alcohol & Tobacco Cartel Muscle, Lauren Leuders
said, according to the Tourist Factory's Saint Augustine Wreckit, "The restrictions are
meant to keep traffic manageable and to make life more comfortable for
residents."

That's pure baloney Lauren baby — and you know it! If you want "to make life more
comfortable for residents" hang your un-American corporate butt sucking complicit head
in shame, stop leading your men and women astray of the Constitution
and go find a societally productive job.

Also noted in the Tourist Factory's Saint Augustine Wreckit was
the fact that this is a
learning experience;

"Additionally, systems being
developed to support an event of this size and complexity, such as
restricted access to residential areas and transportation systems with
satellite parking, will serve the city for other events in the future."

What this means my hoodwinked good friends and neighbors is that unless
you grow some balls and nip this in the bud you can expect for certain
that this escalation in the degradation of your quality of life and
drop in your home values by de facto
CONFISCATION of your home WILL continue. The drive by shooting stage
that we see almost every day now in ever more Detroit like Jacksonville
is right around the corner if we allow this CONFISCATION to take place
and these uncivil obnoxiously loud substance abuse greed-fests to
continue.

Why this letter to the neighborhood associations...
Why am I writing this letter and addressing it to the intentionally fractured (divide and conquer) neighborhood associations? Let me explain.

After expressing my dissatisfaction with the CONFISCATION OF
PRIVATE PROPERTY to the very nice folks who delivered the two private
property access permits
to my home (they were from the neighborhood association in my area, the Flagler Model Land neighborhood)
they urged me to come and speak at a neighborhood association meeting
to
express my viewpoints. I felt that there was some sympathy from them and some
agreement with my position. I declined and briefly told them
why. I herewith elaborate on and amplify those reasons that I gave them for not wanting to participate;

1. The neighborhood associations
have many Tourist Factory merchants as members. These Tourist Factory merchant members have no
problem with confiscating your private property as they will be busy
selling to their customers. [Yes, they are customers — not visitors — brought here at your expense, don't believe the burden shifting baloney.]

While your home is being confiscated, your
freedoms limited, your "quiet enjoyment" of your property trashed, and the fabric of your culture is being eroded by this substance abuse greedfest, their cash registers will be going Ka—ching,
Ka—ching! In
short summary, their greedy self serving Ka-ching interests are not
your downtown resident living on the Tourist Factory floor interests.
There is a simple solution; you need to form ONE resident member alliance — Tourist Factory merchant free —
that meets once a week in city hall. Demand a
politician free meeting place. Its your city and your city hall! Bring
the kids and some pot luck and meet one another. If they refuse the
space go to the slave market in the downtown park.

2.
When the neighborhood associations have any concerns or desire policy
changes they address those concerns and requests to the same
disingenuous hijacked
government foxes that have gang raped them in the first place. This is
folly! I refuse to
do so (read below). That madness only serves to validate, further
legitimize and empower these government closet drug dealers
that have hijacked the city.

3. Back in 1998 when my PRO FREE SPEECH and PRO CIVIL RIGHTS newspaper,
the "Saint Aug Dog" (the good neighborhood folks handing out the permits had never heard of it) was first confiscated and banned by the city goon
squad Police Department
Tourist Factory Mall Security & Alcohol & Tobacco Cartel Muscle, there were
many resident members of the neighborhoods who held the elite viewpoint
that it was OK to turn a blind eye to corrupting the 'rule of law' to
eliminate the street artists, entertainers, and even newspapers of
persons with opposing view points (ahem... me). They were brainwashed by the local
Tourist Factory media into believing that these were lesser people not
worthy of equality under the rule of law. That same demonization exists
today with the same continued exclusions. Don't believe the Pollyanna
Glad Game crowd that Civil Rights and Free Speech have been restored in
Jim Crow Saint Augustine. They have not! The present stifling of the homeless and
their unequal treatment under the 'color of law' is particularly
appalling.

Equal treatment under the law FOR ALL CITIZENS is what it is all about!
That immoral elite attitude, still held by some residents,
has to be openly discussed and eliminated if there is ever to be a fair
and just 'rule of law'. I
can remember back in 98 trying to persuade city residents that using
bogus Jim Crow law and selective enforcement of those laws to deprive
and eliminate others to "clean up" the city was not the solution to the
"problem" but would only lead to further real problems. I was, at the time,
shocked by some of their elite viewpoints and instilled hatreds. But many of them,
unpersuaded, went along and supported the inequality anyway. And here
we are today — the chickens have come home to roost — with our homes
now being de facto
CONFISCATED. You reap what you sow.

The two tier, selectively enforced crap 'rule of law' that we now have,
that favors only the xtrevilist rich, is responsible for the current
degradation of our once great American society. It is my firm belief,
based in my own experiences and substantial knowledge of other
patriotic citizens that have endured the same gross maltreatment in
defending their own rights and while fighting for equality, that no positive
changes will come from within this intractable gangster controlled
system.

That's right kids, if you really want positive enduring "cultural" change and you
want to save your home from continued CONFISCATION and reduction in
value, you are going to have to stop wasting your time on the
contrived, intentionally energy dissipating workshops, committees,
bogus associations, etc., and create your own alliances and go out on the
streets in protest. "Crooked City! Crooked Cops! Don't Spend In
Greedy Shops!" and; "Just say NO — to 450!", should be your starter
slogans.

But wait — there's more! The Constitution and the deeper meaning...
In addition I would also say that I am stunned that none of you
believers in the 'rule of law' have not gone to court to get an
injunction against the confiscation of your PRIVATE PROPERTY that has been taken for no
compelling reason other than to exercise the greed glands of the
merchants, the state alcohol and tobacco cartel and the downtown gangster hijacked government. The old phony baloney
rationales of 'public safety' and 'historical integrity' have now been
replaced with an ever more transparent even more laughable ruse
rationale — culture! ROTFLMAO! The fact that this ruse stimulus of the
merchant, city, and alcohol and tobacco cartel greed glands is aided and
abetted by the County is beyond disgraceful.

"The Takings Clause, the last
clause of the Fifth Amendment, limits the power of eminent domain by
requiring that "just compensation" be paid if private property is taken
for public use."

Does this grossly loud music "festival" really benefit the public
welfare or public interest or does it more serve; the arrogant greedy
bully insensitive totally inconsiderate promoters; the few merchants;
the gangster Tourist Factory city that wants to forcefully channel parking and
traffic flow to its new shuttle systems and overpriced parking garage;
and the state alcohol and tobacco cartel that has its greed glands in
overdrive as it will sell more drugs that impair, sicken and debilitate
society as a direct result of this concert? Alcohol and tobacco kill
over 500,000 Americans a year, not to mention the grief and pain that
their loved ones suffer when they are killed by state sanctioned drug
dealers who are well aware of the statistics involved yet continue to
willingly and knowingly sell this poison into the community. Why does
the county "culture" department encourage this downtown arrogantly loud
music "festival" that stimulates and encourages this predatory
recreational drug use? Are they celebrating culture or are they creating a substance abuse culture?
Why aren't these people in the private sector like most corporate
promoters? Why is your county government behind this affront to the
senses?

What about the "culture" of mutual respect and sanity?

The deeper meaning, "the more sinister driving force behind it all that seeks to eliminate the American middle class"...
Why do the fat ass do nothing parasitic bankers, who control the credit
strings that
determine the use of new money, fund the alcohol and tobacco cartels
new
infrastructure and its bogus "cultural" promotional ruses? Are we
really talking societal improvement here or are we talking intentional
herd thinning and increasing police state control? Are there not some
greater dark forces at work here to further weaken the once strong and
vibrant middle class, not only in America, but globally? Did not the
British subjugate the Chinese for a
period of time by fostering recreational use of addictive opium
throughout China? Yes they did! Intentionally! And with great
effectiveness!

Is
this analogy comparison to what is going on in America today, and other
nation states around the globe, far fetched? I think not. The National
Institute on Drug Abuse reports that drug abuse in America has increased for the last ten years! More alarming are the societal costs. From the National Institute on Drug Abuse;

"Estimates of the total overall costs of substance abuse in the United
States, including productivity and health- and crime-related costs,
exceed $600 billion annually. This includes approximately $193 billion
for illicit drugs,1 $193 billion for tobacco,2 and $235 billion for
alcohol.3 As staggering as these numbers are, they do not fully
describe the breadth of destructive public health and safety
implications of drug abuse and addiction, such as family
disintegration, loss of employment, failure in school, domestic
violence, and child abuse."

And if you are a real student of
history you will know that many low brow Chinese officials, ignorant of
the greater subjugation rationale of the British, were easily bribed by
the British elite into selling out their fellow citizens. Keep in mind
also that Big Pharma is also playing the same game of addicting your
fellow citizens through corrupt and complicit doctors. The promotion of
addictive substances is not limited to just alcohol and tobacco and it is not limited to the US;

I could go on with more links and more info, but by now you get the
picture. There is a marked increase in substance abuse globally that is
a major contributor to decimating the middle class and enslaving us
all. Whether or not you believe that there is a higher level
orchestration to this (as I do) or not, the facts can not be disputed.

For the record: I am not against individuals using any recreational drug that
they
want if they produce it with their own hands for use by themselves and
a few friends and acquaintances. I am not a teetotaler and have been
known to pound a few beers myself. I am however against the mass
production of large quantities of drugs that require large
anti-competitive distribution
networks, predatory advertising, crooked protectionist muscle cops,
societally negative excessive quota systems for licenses, corrupt sales
techniques, buying government legislation in order
to maintain a profit, etc., and that all contribute to the degradation
of society.

What will the gangster drug dealing commissioners downtown and in the county "culture" department say to the
parents and loved ones of the poor intentionally over enticed souls who wind up wearing
toe tags as a result of this hijacked government promoted system abuse "culture"?

The death of your loved one is brought to you by your substance abuse
promoting Saint John's County and City of Saint Augustine Commissioners,
and, the big Florida drug king pin sending a steady stream of
competitive drug users to his corporate crony political donation privatized prison buddies.Florida Drug LordRick Scott
State Drug Dealers

Florida has approximately 75,000 active alcoholic beverage and tobacco license holders. The division generates over $1.9 billion in license fees, taxes, fines, etc.
With 328.25 employees, these responsibilities are carried out through
three bureaus within the division: Licensing, Auditing and Enforcement.

Mixed drink licenses go for about $300,000 each, giving the rich a leg up on subjugating and destroying the poor.

As long as we have some drug dealers 'legal' through graft and
corruption, and given protectionist muscle by 'law enforcement' that
hypocritically sends competitive product users to for profit prisons,
we will never solve this burgeoning substance abuse problem.

And
what ever happened to Len Weeks vision of a family oriented culture
with shop keepers living over their businesses in buildings maintained
with an eye to "historical integrity"? As much as I disliked Len Weeks
for his role in the usurpation of the 'rule of law' for private gain he
at least had a clear and wholesome
vision, not this thinly veiled, excessively arrogant noisy substance
abuse
promoting corporate "culture" baloney! And he makes useful and
beautiful things with his own hands, unlike these fat ass parasitic
useless bankers and lawyers who produce nothing other than an enormous
financial drain on society.

I am also stunned that none of the down town residents that are
virtually on the Tourist Factory floor are not calling for a reverse
mitigation tax. Yes you/we should be paid to live here. We provide the cutesy
cutesy back drop prop homes that are/were (fast becoming were) an integral part of the
"charm" of Saint Augustine.

When the state (any branch of government)
takes a private property for its own use, eminent domain laws require
that there be some "just compensation". That should apply to partial
and the continued partial confiscation of our residences.
Beer bottles, puke, food wrappers, used condoms, and all other sorts of human waste and trash on our lawns and sidewalks.The
only "compensation" the downtown residents on the Tourist Factory
floor get is beer bottles, puke, food wrappers, used condoms, and all
other sorts of human waste and trash on their lawns and sidewalks. We
have to pick it up and hose it away. The merchants are instructed to
simply blow it into the streets and the city then daily (yes even
Saturdays and Sundays), sends out its filth and disease spreaders;
whining diesel powered monsters that start at five o'clock in the
morning (in baloneyspeak they call them 'street sweepers'), to suck it
all up at taxpayer expense. You could not design a better device to
launch the airborne bacteria spores of the three to six million Tourist
Factory customers, all of indeterminate and questionable health, that
come here and spread their germ laden filth and trash all over the
city. You could also not design a better device to destroy the
serenity, tranquility, and beauty, of an early morning sunrise on what
was once a very beautiful and appealing bay front. It is like having an
inconsiderate low brow neighbor with a mega powered leaf blower that
blows his yard clean every time you sit, freshly showered, on your
front porch to enjoy an early morning cup of coffee and the sound of
the birds.

I could go on and on with the quality of life destroying list of
the effects of selfish high community impact tourism, but that would be
another very long
essay. Suffice to say the downtown residents on the
factory floor do not have the state law guaranteed "quiet enjoyment" of
their property and it now sucks living here! The historical charm has
turned to incessant harm. The city is now one big very noisy stressful
roadside joint!

And please, let's stop all of the comparisons to Disneyland to justify
increased fees for every grossly overpriced Tourist Trap Factory
function. MAKE THE DISTINCTION: Walt Disney, bought with his own money,
the land that Disneyland stands on. The Xtrevilists in Saint Augustine,
through an ongoing pattern and practice of immorally usurping the 'rule
of law', stole the public commons they operate their Tourist Factory on and they run it in great part with resident wallet theft funding! And now — CONFISCATION OF PRIVATE PROPERTY!

If my tone seems uncivil and disrespectful of the gangsters downtown I
make no apologies for it. Read the rest of this web site and you will
know why. Confiscating newspapers and trashing them into dumpsters to
repress
lawful political opposition is grossly uncivil and disrespectful as are
all of the other infractions of the 'rule of law' noted here on this
web site. This pattern and practice of usurpation of the 'rule of law' for personal gain is in fact the third
world banana republic tactic of low brow knuckle dragging bully
Xtrevilist dictators — just what we have downtown in city hall — and just what we have in Washington!

If anyone does want to take to the streets in protest for a fair and just 'rule of law' I will stand with you.

In summary; the above is what I would say if I attended and spoke to
the neighborhood association in my area. I would also, if allowed and
given the time, present the information that follows below.

This
site is dedicated to John Victor Powers, Greg Travous, and David
Thundershield Queen, all of whom were denied their God given and Constitutionally guaranteed freedom and opportunity by the
rogue gangster City of Saint Augustine Government and their low brow,
mean spirited, bully police force. Those freedoms and opportunities denied, and the illegal
and immoral; harassment, arrests, hardships, trials
and tribulations they were forced to suffer under the "color of law",
were in great part causative contributions to their all being sent to
an early grave! It is called murder!

But as you
will
all see in the very near future your crumb supply is about to be
severely disrupted, severely reduced, and quite possibly be gone
forever. Many of you more sentient individuals can already sense and
feel this now near future chaos. It is not a problem of diminishing
resources and global warming; though those problems do pose significant
challenges. It is a moral problem. A problem of broken trust in the
rule of law as we now all more rapidly sink into the chaos of deception.If you understand economics and can read charts click here to see clearly what is going on...

Usurpation:
The illegal encroachment or assumption of the use of authority, power,
or property properly belonging to another; the interruption or
disturbance of an individual in his or her right or possession.

The term usurpation is also used in reference to the unlawful
assumption or seizure of sovereign power, in derogation of the
constitution and rights of the proper ruler.
